Xiaomi reveals plans for an international expansion

The automotive division of IT giant Xiaomi has finally shed some light on its plans to offer electric cars outside of China. According to William Lou, the CEO of the division, customers in Europe and the USA will be able to drive a Xiaomi EV as soon as 2027.

The corresponding statement was made at the Mobile World Congress in Spain, which the company attended with its much-hyped Xiaomi SU7 Ultra supercar. According to CarNewsChina reporting from the event, Xiaomi said it was already starting to research the various markets of Europe trying to determine the best launch strategy.

Lou emphasized that the automaker’s main goal was still to gain a firm foothold on the domestic market of China. If Xiaomi were to fail this goal, it would not be able to expand worldwide. He added that it was still too early to name any specific countries or launch dates yet.
